You are invited to the Northeast Product Safety Societys 20th annual membership dinner meeting on Wednesday, May 28th, at the Holiday Inn, Marlborough MA featuring Edward T. Butt Jr., Attorney with Swanson Martin Bell, LLP, will discuss what you can do to better defend and prevent product liability suits.

RE: Transformer Safety Design
The CSA publishes design guides for its clients that are somewhat useable by developers. FWIW, UL60950-1 specifies, in addition to the stated requirements, IEC61558-x for some general xfmr tests, and UL 1585 (to be obsoleted by UL 5085-x) for Class 2/3 power sources. The comment by Mr Woodgate is good advice - as my employer's designers seem to have many problems with using the 'raw' safety standard as a design guide. So for each project, I write some summary tables of construction requirements, performance/test requirements, and spacings that would apply to the particular project. For component transformers, I point all new product designs to use only IEC61558-x and/or UL5085-x, which can get them into most IT and consumer products. luck, Brian From: emc-p...@ieee.org [mailto:emc-p...@ieee.org]On Behalf Of MacArthur, Don Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2008 8:48 AM To: emc-p...@ieee.org Subject: Transformer Safety Design I am looking for a comprehensive standard, book, or technical article which describes designing a transformer to pass the safety requirements (Creepage, Clearance, Insulation Properties, etc.).

RE: Ethics grad work Therac-25
There was a previous PSTC thread that discussed the use of software as a safety-critical component. The Therac-25 is an oft-cited example in school ethics papers. This incident is poorly understood by people that have not performed formal software verification and validation. From a purely software engineering point of view, in the philosophic meaning, there was no breach of ethics by the design team, and there was no failure of the Therac software. While poor test design failed to reveal the problem, the root-cause was an incorrect design specification. It my opinion, it seems that the manufacturer's management had a morals problem.

I am a Grad student writing an ethics paper on the Therac-25 radiation machine. http://www.computingcases.org/case_materials/therac/therac_case_i ntro.html My paper is focusing on the ethical situation from the manufacturer's point of view and hypothetically what they should or could have done differently to solve the issue if I was their consultant. Primarily I am interested in the ISO/IEC or international safety standards for software programming of industrial equipment or medical devices. Not necessarily to reference them but to understand the scope and to realize what the manufacturer needed/needs to do.

RE: Ethics grad work Therac-25
Thanks for the sympathetic encouragement Bob!! Someone recently brought up a point that I am wrestling with though. What EXACTLY are the manufacturer's root ethical issue(s) here? I have the following so far: 0.) doing a software safety analysis AFTER the machine has been commercially available - what kind of motivation would the manufacturer have to pass!! 1.) Releasing software that that had an insufficient safety analysis - was fau lt tree bad or was that accepted practice in 1983? if 1.) is not the root, then: 2.) Inadequate response to 6 injuries/overdoses in 9 months. this was a million dollar machine but hey, what is the value of a human life? 3.) Knowingly leaving an unsafe product on the market for 10 months until units were required to be shutdown by the FDA CRPB. same comment as above. As always, I welcome you comments.
